BOOK
I want to leave Davis for a day. I have the truck now. Hey. This is on my to-read list. If anyone wants to read these along with me, please do so. I just finished the idiot and I have thoughts exploding my head, and then drifting away, nearly forgotten. So let me know if one of these sounds particularly interesting to you.
The Devils or Notes from the Underground (DOSTOEVSKY)
The Death of Ivan Ilych and/or Resurrection (TOLSTOY)
Dombey & Son (DICKENS)
The Bell Jar (PLATH)
A Farewell to Arms (HEMINGWAY)
Prolegomena to any Future Metaphysics (Kant, it's like 100 pages)
Mary's journals
The Everlasting Man (I have not yet read it. GAH. He is so good, everything he writes is so good.)
The Stranger or The Plague (CAMUS-these are pretty short, I hear)
Candide (VOLTAIRE-short)
Seriously, tell me if you will read one, and then we will talk and talk forever, about this book. Or read the Idiot. And exiles (who are not part of the nation-exiled from your home, not here, here you are welcome (some of you, some are unwelcome), but still not a part. We are the nation) write me email (Kevin, actually I think you are the only one) if you would like to read books, although I realize not everyone is as starved for good thought as I am.
But we played foosball tonight. And pool. I rocked their worlds at foosball.
I miss you guys. I will come down one of those weekends, but I'm really not sure about my schedule. But one of them, I will be free enough.
Goodnight, goodnight. I'm sailing away, set an open course for the virgin sea. Because I've got to be free, free to face the life that's ahead of me. We'll search for tomorrow on every shore. And I'll try, oh lord, I'll try, to carry on.
I look to the sea, reflections in the waves spark my memories; some happy, some sad. I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had. We live happily forever, so the story goes, but somehow we missed out on that pot of gold. But we'll try, best as we can, to carry on! (ROCK!) Come sail away with me.

the last two paragraphs remind me of Neil. Do you stil talk to him?
you want to read my journals? I'm afraid there would not be much to talk about.
you are right. I dont really journal. I have a prayre journal that i started like 3 years ago, but i dont even keep up on that one!
did you actually go on a date with neil? i thought you were avoiding that sort of situation. did you acknowledge that it was a date at the time or is this just in retrospect? and was this before or after you wanted me to date him? that would be kinda shady if you went on a date with him after trying to set me up. but then again, we all know that you were the one he had his eye on.
what good would it have done for me to go out with him if he had his eye on the prize ;)
